Lessons from the Fat-O-Sphere: Quit Dieting and Declare a Truce with Your Body by Kate Harding and Marianne Kirby

MLM, November 4, 2009

In response to gaelic81, I'd like to point out that while it's true that life's problems can't be solved by being thinner, life is far easier once you lose weight - no hassles with doctors, easier to get a good job, no need to defend yourself all the time, easier to find nice clothes etc - not to mention the health effects.

Also, this book doesn't paint being overweight or obese as an easy life, hence the chapters on sewing your own clothes, refusing to go into stores which don't carry your size, dealing with doctors. I wonder how many people have read the book, then decided they'd be better off sticking to their diet?

Why on earth would anyone want to spend any of their hard-earned money on this book? It's just a rehash of the information available for free on the authors' blogs. If they want to dispel the idea that fat people are lazy, they're going about it the wrong way!
